asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will arrange for a survey of the Glenamoy-Belderrig area to ascertain the possibility of developing the old copper ore mines which were formerly worked there.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Mayo: Mineral Development.
The Glenamoy and Belderrig districts in County Mayo have already been surveyed, and the information obtained is available for public inspection in the Office of the Geological Survey. I am advised that the possibilities of discovering workable deposits of copper in these areas are remote, and I am satisfied that a further survey there would not be justified.
